Juhu Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Hi there, I made two paintings with AP yesterday and they looked fine (=not pixelated or anything) while I was working on them. The size I had chosen for the images was big enough. After I saved them as psd-files, they became super blurry and are now suddenly only 72 dpi. I did not change anything in the saving settings, so what happened there?! Can't use the images like this. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Callum Posted October 1, 2019 Staff Share Posted October 1, 2019 Hi Juhu, Welcome to the forums If possible could you provide the .PSD file in question so I can look into this further with you?

Juhu Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 Hi there, thanks for your quick reply! Please see the files attached. Both of them were not blurred while I was painting them, even when zooming in. I used the default psd-saving settings that I've used in the past, but this has never happened before. Thanks again! zeichnungen-aufräumbuch-2.psd zeichnungen-aufräumbuch-4.psd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Callum Posted October 1, 2019 Staff Share Posted October 1, 2019 Hi Juhu These don't look all that blurry for digital paintings to me. Do you have a copy of the afphoto file before they were blurry so I can compare the two? Thanks Callum Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP.

Juhu Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 (edited) Hi Callum, I wish I had... That is actually my second question: the files seem to save automatically all changes, so the original afphoto file looks just like this one. Is that a default setting that I can change? Back to the blur: don't know what to say. If these don't seem blurry to you... they are very blurry to me and my partner who saw the original ones yesterday. The were painted with the digital gouache paint tool in AP, so you could actually see single brush "hair" strokes within one stroke, even when zooming in everything looked sharp. So yes, they are super blurry now. Also don't see why digital paintings should be more blurry in general, since the stroke appearance is super detailed as described above. Thanks!

Juhu Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 P.S: Maybe I should explain: the pictures aren't blurry for a 72 dpi file, but they were bigger than that before I saved them and as detailed as I said... So the main thing I's like to know is how this happened (probably through exporting), so that it doesn't happen again... Thanks again!

Juhu Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 This is a picture that I painted with the same tools, not blurry. See the difference? Thank you for your efforts! J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juhu Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 (... and even though through upload it looks blurrier here than on my desktop, it's not as blurry as the other ones) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
